Residents of SaddleBrooke Communities Made SBCO Food Drive a Success! | Community

The compassionate residents of SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch made this year’s Annual SaddleBrooke Community Outreach Food Drive a great success. The Food Drive raised at total of $157,650 and approximately 14,000 pounds of food. This is a great result and the families assisted by the Tri-Community Food Bank (TCFB), as well as its Board of Directors and volunteers, are deeply grateful for this outpouring of support.

Thanks to your continued generosity, the TCFB provided almost 5,000 food boxes to 549 households, totaling 1,620 individuals in 2025.

Speaking on behalf of the TCFB Executive Board, Tom Jensen said, “SaddleBrooke Community Outreach is a wonderful partner of the food bank. We are so fortunate to have their support along with that of the SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch communities. This year’s food drive has set the TCFB up for another successful year. Our deepest gratitude and thanks to all who participated.”

The Food Drive accepted food donations and monetary contributions made online or with checks. Volunteers from SaddleBrooke, SaddleBrooke Ranch, Sunrise Rotary, Rotary Club of SaddleBrooke, TCFB and Teen Closet students enjoyed the warm weather and comradery of sorting through the food donations, boxing and loading them on trucks and unloading the donations at TCFB. All monetary contributions will go directly to grocery purchases and related expenses. Both SBCO and TCFB are all-volunteer organizations and IRS 501(c)(3) and AZ non-profit charitable organizations, so donations made to these organizations are tax deductible.

SBCO and TCFB thank the many SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch residents who made such a great difference in the lives of those in need, especially the SaddleBrooke Unit Food Drive Captains:
